I've been locked away for all these years
now i can see the light of day
things have changed a lot since i was last out here
i guess that's the way things, way things go
Now i'm a freeman again
i don't give a damn what happens in there
now i'm through, what a life
because now i'm a freeman
As i look around i couldn't remember my old home
now there's a tower block in its way
i remember all my friends and my wife
they don't want to know me anymore
they wouldn't listen, they didn't understand
they accused me of crime i didn't commit
it was some other guy, but it wasn't me
they wouldn't give in, they wouldn't believe me
But now i'm a freeman again
i couldn't give a damn what happens in there
now i'm through, what a life
because now i'm a freeman
